This comprehensive book delves into the intricate origins of gold deposits, answering scientific inquiries and fueling curiosity. Its findings greatly enhance the exploration and mining of gold. Initially, it provides a concise summary of the various methods employed to unravel the genesis of gold deposits, encompassing essential science and concepts. Five fundamental observations arise, which apply to numerous gold deposits and must be taken into account when considering genetic theories. The discussion then turns to magmatic processes that enrich gold, followed by the crucial role of aqueous fluids during the formation of gold deposits at high temperatures and pressures. The impact of modifying factors after deposit formation, such as high-grade metamorphism, retrogression, weathering, and erosion, is explored.
Within the framework of viable genetic ideas, the book elucidates the primary types of gold deposits. Informal names are assigned to these examples, including gold-only, gold-plus, Carlin, slate-belt, epithermal, porphyry, iron oxide copper gold, and Archean greenstone. Case histories are included, showcasing how gold geology has directly contributed to significant discoveries, both at the province- and goldfield-scales.
What sets this book apart is its broad scope, encompassing virtually all gold deposit types rather than concentrating solely on one type in isolation. Its primary audience comprises industry geologists, senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and individuals with a solid foundation in science and a keen interest in the gold industry. By unraveling the mysteries of gold deposit origins, this book empowers professionals and enthusiasts alike to gain a deeper understanding of this precious resource and its geological significance.
